What do you folks think about this one? I used the orange box elder burl block that I could never get anyone to take. :biggrin:
 
Dave:
This is a stunning knife. Personally, I like it even more than the Ironwood petty you recently sold – the grain structure is tighter and more complex, which suits a smaller handle well. The color really pops everything. I believe that two things work against customers making good decisions on handle wood: 1) the unfinished blocks only hint at what the completed/finished handle will look like (plus you can't make any promises because every block is different) and 2) the nomenclature works against you – "orange dyed" doesn't sound particularly upscale even though the result here is spectacular. The CPM154 petty you made for me last year is a wonderful knife. That handle is yellow dyed box elder burl and I really struggled making that decision – glad I did, with your help. It's the go-to knife out of the block for lots of jobs. From fit-and-finish to balance to edge retention, a splendid job. I don't need another one, but I am sorely tempted nonetheless.
